COVID- 19 Practice Update - 24th May 2020
Whilst the pandemic is not yet over, we have done well to flatten the curve and we are all starting to adjust to a new normal. At Ashford Avenue Family Practice we are looking forward to resuming most of our routine services and seeing more of our patients again. We will continue to offer telehealth services as our primary means of consultation. We are also able to provide chronic health management plans (care plans) and mental health plans via teleconsult. We will be resuming our usual preventative care including routine health assessments, cervical screening (pap smears), skin checks and biopsies, and diabetic check ups. We will also be able to perform ECGs, Implanon insertion/removal and IUD removal. |

Please be aware blood tests and spirometry testing will not be resuming at this stage.
All routine childhood immunisations, baby checks and pregnancy care has been uninterrupted during the pandemic and will continue to be provided as usual.
Whilst we are resuming most of our usual services, this is still within the context of the ongoing pandemic and social distancing measures will continue to be in place. This means we will require all patients to phone on arrival and wait in their cars in order to keep our waiting areas clear. Histories will be taken over the phone in order to minimise contact times. Everyone entering the practice will have their temperature checked at the door. It is also asked that only one parent accompany any child to their appointment.
Please do not present if you are unwell with fever or any respiratory symptoms or have been in contact with a suspected or confirmed case of COVID-19. Please call for a telehealth consultation. We will not be able to accomodate walk-ins but please phone us if an urgent appointment is required.
We will remain closed on Saturdays for the time being. We aim to resume Saturday mornings in the near future and will let you know in the coming weeks.
Whilst the new normal may cause some inconvenience, we appreciate your understanding and patience as we strive to adjust to this new normal and keep our staff and patients safe.

Welcome to Ashford Avenue Family Practice
Your Family Doctor
Your GP should be more than just a doctor – they should be a member of your community, somebody who knows you and your family as more than just a patient record. They should be somebody you can trust to listen to your concerns, to give you the care and advice that’s right for you.
As a small local clinic, Ashford Avenue Family Practice is owned and operated by our doctors Dr Susan Sunwoo and Dr David Le. We strive to provide professional, personalised health services to the local community.
We are a mixed billing practice which means we offer both bulk billing consultations as well as services which incur an out of pocket fee. With the increasing costs of running a practice, and the failure of Medicare to keep pace with these increasing costs, running a universal bulk billing practice is becoming unsustainable. We are passionate about continuing to provide quality health care as opposed to practising "5 minute medicine" which is the unfortunate alternative in this current Medicare climate.
Health Care for a Lifetime
Health care shouldn’t just be about occasional illnesses and no-fuss prescriptions. It should be about care and advice throughout your life, tailored to fit your specific history and circumstances.
